Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my home town in St-Francois de Madawaska in New Brunswick Canada.

Time

My family and I where waiting for our town festival parade at the beginning of September. The view of the bench overlooked our towns pond so with a click of my camera I took this shot. I do love this photo as it looks calming, zen feeling and makes you also feel like you can go sit there anytime and relax.

Lighting

It was a warm sunny day some scattered clouds here and there but mostly sunny, a perfect fall day. No need for any flashes.

Equipment

This photo was taken with my old Kodak easy share camera, No flash and regular zoom lens. I now rarely use as I purchased a Canon Rebel T5 this past spring I am now enjoying taking more pictures than before.

Inspiration

I was looking to capture the bench with a little bit of the pond in it, but this capture gave me a little more than what I expected, flowers and Lilly pads on the pond was perfect.

Editing

No post-processing, just got up and pointed and took a few shots, this was the best one.

In my camera bag

The only equipment I have in my new bag with new camera are, anon EOS Rebel T5 Digital SLR + canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS & EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens + 58mm 2x Lens + Wide Angle Lens + Auto Power Flash + UV Filter Kit + 24GB SDHC card

Feedback

The best advice I could think of right now would be, take the time to look at your object and it's surrounding, if you want just that object how to focus on the best area, but it's always best to grab as much objects in that moment as it always changes.
